Wexford Pride presents Pride Goes to Prom

Wexford Pride is thrilled to announce our upcoming event, Pride Goes to Prom, a second chance graduation ball for the LGBTQIA+ community! Many of us didn’t get to celebrate our school debs or grads as our authentic selves, so we're making up for lost time with a night to remember! Time to put on your finest and join us for an evening of queer joy, a buffet dinner, and a little dancing to top it off!

Our prom theme is ‘Forest Fantasy’. While this may be the theme for our night, attendees are invited to dress in a way that's most affirming for them! There's no obligation to dress to theme, unless you want to!
